技術生訓練市場的成效，關係到整體勞動市場的榮枯。技術生訓練期間的工作條件如何，則牽涉到青少年受訓的意願及人力資源的升級。台灣有關技術生之規定，分別見之於職業訓練法及勞動基準法，雖有其互補的立法用意，但也增加人民理解及法律運用上的困難。整體而言，我國技術生可能到職業學校中進行學科教育，所以也有德國雙軌制訓練的色彩。但技術生訓練市場則稍嫌保守。在技術生法律問題上，本文認為技術生契約並非勞動契約，而是一具有教養義務的雙務契約；技術生契約當事人擁有相當大的契約自由，約定其權利義務；勞基法有關童工之規定，原則上亦可適用於15~16 歲的技術生身上；生活津貼的法律性質並非工資；技術生不得參加爭議行為；事業單位不得與技術生約定返還費用條款及受訓後禁止競爭業務條款；事業單位對於技術生，有一定期限的留用權限，技術生並無自動留用之權，但也無永久留用義務；最後，基於技術生的身份，技術生可以加入社會保險。
